MakeMKV down - cant find firmware to flash Verbatim 43888

Hi all,

I recently bought a Verbatim 43888. Went to rip my first disc, which is just a regular DVD. But MakeMKV isn't even able to detect the disc. I checked a few forums which all recommend Makemkv forums, however the site seems to be down.

I may need to rollback the firmware from version 1.05 to 1.03. Has anyone else had experience with this issue? Can it be done using linux?

I know the drive is working because I can see the video/audio files. It also works with Handbrake.

Cheers
